The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for December 23, 2012

Too late Judge, I think there’s grounds for a sequel.

Should have opted for binding arbitration.

Apparently the theme of this comic is You Can’t Judge a Book by it’s Cover

Must be the Witness For the Prosecution.

No matter…he needs to be put away.He’s a spineless creep who stole a pocketbook, and then tried to burn some library books in a card scam.

Very impressive comments, gang. I got nothing, but I’m loving your work!

I think I recognize the judge. Isn’t that Justice Once.

I think that book is cooked.

Justice is usually depicted as blindfolded.

The Itty-Bitty Knitty Committee – Plugging their own book?

At least he gets to be judged by his peers.

At least he’s no “dummie” book.

Book Him.

“The Itty-Bitty Knitty Committee”? Self-promotion is not necessarily a bad thing.

I didn’t find “Justice Once” but there is a “Justice Once Removed”.

The Itty Bitty Knitty Committee will be soft on him but I don’t think he has a chance with the others.Love the comic and the comments are most Excellent!

Interesting how this toon sneaked in a plug for J. Grisham’s book “The Last Juror”. None of the other “jurors” have the author’s name on their covers.

the book worm did it

I figured the judge would be “Crime and Punishment”?

And the harshest jurors of all, the Itty Bitty Kitty Committee.

It’s too bad The Rural Juror wasn’t a book first. It would have fit right in with the rest of that jury.

I hope "Runaway Jury " is in the rest of the jury box.
